Neurofeedback Therapy at Kincove for Focus and Calm
Neurofeedback is a gentle, noninvasive therapy that empowers the brain to self-regulate by providing real-time feedback on brainwave activity. At Kincove, we use neurofeedback to support adolescents and young adults in optimizing cognitive performance, reducing stress, improving emotional balance, and enhancing overall mental clarity.
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a form of brain training in which electrodes are placed on the scalp to monitor electrical activity. This data is translated into visual or auditory signals that guide the brain toward healthier patterns over time. Through a series of targeted sessions, the brain gradually learns to shift away from dysregulated states and toward more efficient functioning.
Neurofeedback Technologies
Step 1: qEEG Brain Assessment
-
This initial assessment provides a comprehensive view of brainwave patterns and identifies areas for targeted intervention.
-
During the assessment, electrodes are placed on the scalp to record brainwave activity. The client is asked to relax and perform specific tasks, giving a detailed snapshot of their brain’s functioning.
-
The qEEG process is painless, non-invasive, and typically takes about 30-45 minutes. It’s designed to make clients feel comfortable and relaxed throughout.
-
By capturing a detailed profile of brainwave activity, qEEG helps create a customized neurofeedback plan. This data-driven approach enhances the effectiveness of neurofeedback by addressing each individual’s unique needs.

FAQs
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a form of brain training that helps your brain learn to self-regulate. It measures brainwave activity and provides feedback in real time, guiding the brain toward healthier patterns through visual and auditory cues.
Is Neurofeedback Invasive?
No, Neurofeedback is non-invasive. Electrodes are placed on the scalp to monitor brainwave activity, but there is no discomfort or electrical stimulation involved.
What is the process?
Every neurofeedback journey begins with a qEEG brain assessment designed to map your individual brainwave profile. This painless assessment takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes and enables us to design a deeply personalized training protocol. Next, we utilize the Myndlift neurofeedback system, or a comparable technology, to deliver brainwave training in-session and often as a supplemental home practice. Sessions typically last 20 to 30 minutes, and most clients engage in a program of 30 to 40 sessions for optimal results.
Throughout treatment, your clinician regularly monitors progress, reviews quantitative data, and adjusts protocols as needed to ensure continued growth. We use baseline and mid-program assessments to track changes in brain function, cognition, emotional regulation, and symptom relief.
How long is a Neurofeedback session?
Sessions typically last between 20-30 minutes, depending on individual goals. Most programs recommend 30-40 sessions for optimal results.
Is Neurofeedback safe?
Yes, Neurofeedback is a safe, evidence-based therapy with decades of research behind it and little to no side effects.
What should I expect?
Many clients report improved focus, calmer responses to stress, better emotional balance, and stronger capacity for self-regulation. Neurofeedback is considered safe and well tolerated, as there is no electrical stimulation beyond passive monitoring. Side effects are rare and typically mild when they occur, often presenting as temporary fatigue or light brain “tuning” sensations.
Because neurofeedback supports foundational regulatory changes rather than offering a quick fix, consistent engagement is critical. Most programs are designed for 30 to 40 sessions, but we adapt as your needs evolve. While some change can be felt early, deeper and more lasting shifts often emerge across weeks of training.
Why should I choose Kincove?
At Kincove we integrate neurofeedback into a holistic therapeutic framework. Your training is never isolated from the broader emotional and psychological context. Our team coordinates closely with your individual or family therapists to ensure neurofeedback enhances your overall progress. We draw on evidence-based research and clinical experience to tailor protocols uniquely for your brain and goals. Because we respect that every person’s brain is different, we continuously refine your program as your system changes.
If you are curious whether neurofeedback might support your journey toward greater focus, calm, and brain health, we invite you to schedule a free consultation. Let’s explore whether this powerful modality is the right fit for you or your child.
